In many cases, the end of the year gives you time to step back and take stock of the last 12 months. This is when many of us take a hard look at what worked and what did not, complete performance reviews, and formulate plans for the coming year. For me, it is all of those things plus a time when I u...

Videojet
Technologies Inc., a world-leading manufacturer of coding, printing
and laser marking products, fluids and accessories for the product
identification industry, today announced that Baosheng Group has
improved uptime and print quality by adding Videojet’s 1710 continuous
ink jet printer to its high-volume production facility in Jiangsu
Province, China.

Baosheng Group is a leading cable manufacturer in China. The company
produces a wide range of general-purpose power and communications cable
and wires in addition to specialty cable for the mining and marine
industries. The company has four production lines that run over 32 feet
of cable per minute, 24 hours a day. Previously, Baosheng had been
utilizing 40 early-generation continuous ink jet printers, but was
finding it difficult to clearly mark the products with required
information including the manufacturer’s name, product model, cable
specifications, measurement marks, date, voltage, CCC certification,
equipment codes and working shift.

“Code legibility and ink adhesion is vital to our business when we are
required to meet industry regulations. Additionally, our high production
speeds, hot temperatures and factory environmental conditions make it
necessary to implement a printer that can perform consistently and keep
production moving,” said Ju ChaoRong, Director of Technology Management
for Baosheng. “We’ve found this with Videojet’s 1710 continuous ink jet
coder. We can run any ink we need—including pigmented, high-contrast
ink—in the 1710 coders without problems. And the ink dries very quickly
with excellent adhesion, supporting our fast production speed.”

Baosheng selected Videojet for its high performance equipment with
operational stability, competitive pricing and timely service response.
When encountering extreme humidity and wide temperature swings, many
other continuous ink jet printers experience clogs and ink
contamination, causing major delays along the production line. The
Videojet’s 1000 Line of continuous ink jet printers, including the 1710,
was specifically designed with CleanFlow printheads and SmartCartridgeTM
ink technology to deliver clear codes in tough operating conditions and
help eliminate ink contamination.

“Maximizing production line uptime is critical to delivering the widest
product selection and most competitive prices to our customers. The
design of the Videojet 1710 printer contributes directly to our
production line uptime,” said ChaoRong. “The 1710 is ready when our
lines are, helping us achieve our business goals and gain significant
financial savings.”

“Baosheng’s challenging operating environment really tests the
efficiency and quality of their production equipment. Therefore,
Videojet is continually striving to deliver the highest quality products
to help customers like Baosheng achieve uptime and significantly
eliminate waste and ink contamination,” said Mark Breunig, continuous
ink jet product manager for Videojet. “We are pleased to offer
continuous ink jet printers that can meet Baosheng’s high expectations
and help drive down operating costs.” After the successful installation
of the first Videojet 1710 printer, Baosheng purchased nine additional
units and nine Videojet 1510 printers.
